Designed for children in the year they turn 6
Kindergarten 2 marks the culmination of the early learning journey at Hess Preschool — thoughtfully designed to ensure a confident transition to Primary School.
We prioritise independence, organisational skills, and real-world problem-solving, while social-emotional growth remains central: resilience, empathy, teamwork, and confidence in self-expression.
By graduation, K2 children can read simple stories independently, write short paragraphs, solve addition and subtraction problems, and — most importantly — walk into Primary School with curiosity and confidence.
Core learning areas
Every learning area supports holistic development while keeping children engaged, curious, and joyfully busy.

Show & Tell
Meaningful presentation opportunities where children share discoveries, demonstrate new skills, and explain creative projects to an audience of peers.

Our bilingual programme strengthens communication in both Chinese and English through interactive reading, discussion, and sharing activities.
